1. About a year and a half.

2. When my best friend (Cooshinator) introduced me into chip music it sounded cool. Immediately, my love for music pulled me into the scene. I consider the chiptune scene a culture similar to that of which in the 1980's hardcore movement, another type of music I love to play.

3.One modded 1/8" Prosound/Back-lit DMG  with a blue and orange paint job with NES buttons. I use the LSDJ Software, which is amazing BTW Occasionally i throw in some guitar as well. (Ibanez GIO GAX-70)

4. 1980's Hardcore punk. It is just raw fast music, similar to chiptunes

5. I've never taken musical theory lessons formally, but i have researched it a bit to know the basics of scales and progressions and what not. Also, me knowing how to play formal instruments sometimes messes me up making chiptunes because its hard to get around the restrictions on the chips, but thats what makes it more fun

6. Listen, Listen, LISTEN! After that, find a style of chiptune you would like to emulate. After that, find out what software and such that artist uses and fire up an emulator with the necessary software, before you get hardware and realize that's not the sound you wish to achieve. I love LSDJ a lot, and highly recommend it as it is an easy tracker to handle and the hardware is cheap Also, sound is great
